Lambs Peculiarities.

Of Charles Lamb perhaps more an
ecdotes could be told than any Englisf
author, with the possible exception oi
Sydney Smith.
One day an unpopular head Of de.
partment In the India House came tC
him and asked: "Pray, Mr.. Lamb
what are you about?" ''Forty, nexi
birthday" said Lamb. 81 don't like
your answer" said the chief. "Nor ]
your question, replied Lamb.
Lamb never carried watch. One
day friend, observing this, presented
him with a new one of gold. He ac-
cepted aud carried it for one day. Soon
afterward a companion asked him
where was his watch. 'Pawnel," said
Lamb. Finding 1t an encumbrance he
had actually pawned it.
One day a friend asked him to &C
to a public dinner. Lamb consented
on condition that the friend wonld see
him safely home. The dinner over,
Lamb reminded his friend of the agree.
ment. 'But where do you liveP" he
was asked. ''That's your affair" said
Lamb; 'you unde. look to see me
home, and hold you to the bargain. u
The friend had vague notion that
Lamb lived at Islington; he took a
hackney coach and started, trusting to
inquiry to find the house. Some hours
were spent in the search, but it sue
ceeded at last. Lamb all the time per-
sisteutly and dryly refused to give the
slightest clew.

last OF OTTER BELT.
They Painted His Body as Red IS o
Gorgeous Sunset.

Up on Beaver Creek, in the Nation,
the greatest Of the Comanche chiefs.
succumbed to the grim reaper Death,
and it WAS all in his honor. He knew
be was gong to die. and just five min
utes before he breathed his last they
held him erect and rigged the old chief
cut in his best war costume. They
painted him as red as q sGnset, set his
war bonnet on his head. tied up his hair
in beaver skins and then laid him
down just as his spirit winged its
flight. Otter Belt, while a good man
for a Comanche, was rather inclined
toward the doctrines of Brigham
Young, only he cOntented himself with
a less number of wives-in fact, limit
ed himself to five. The way these
squaws took on when the chief was no
more was sight never to be forgotten.
Taking sharp butcher knives, they
slashed their faces with long, deep cuts,
till they were covered with blood.
They also cut themselves In other
places, and then beat their bleeding
bodies and pulled their hair, all the
while uttering the most doleful and
plaintive cries. They then burned
everything they had, their two tepees,
furniture, clothing and all-even the
biggest part of the clothing they wore.
There was big crowd Of bucks present
at the Obsequles. of course, and, as IS
the Indian fashion, they slew ten head
of horses in honor of Otter Belts men,
ory. Among the horses they killed was
a favorite team Of Press Addington's,
on whose ranch Otter Belt resided.
Press won't like it much when he hears
that his trotters are dead, but when
Indians need horses for funeral they
never stop to inquire whom they bslong
to.

Education of Farmers.

While it Is not TO lie inferred that
farmers are uneducated or IN any sense
inferior to other classes in intelligence,
yet there is rooin for greater eddca-
tlonal expansion, which should not be
overlooked. 1t has been but decade
since 'book farming" was deriied as a
pastime, resulting in great expenses
and no profit; but at the present day
"book farming" is considered indis.
pensable in conducting practical oper-
ations on the farm. The shook farm
err" as the phrase is understood, may
not have been an adept in the use OF
implements, may have lacked skill at
the plow and In feeding and knowledge
of the proper mode of expenditures; bnt
while he was lacking in practical ex-
perience, he was always aiming for the
best of everything, and, by expert
ments, educated his neighbors. Though
he knew nothing about milking COW,
yet he could, at glance, separate the
different breeds of stock and mate
them for the best results; and his
knowledge of fertilizers, varieties of
plants and pecuillarities of soils, was
often far in advance of his more prac-
teal neighbors. While his efforts were
often failures, they always tended to a
better system of cultivation and the
introduction of superior stock In the
section in which he operated.
Ii the skilled and practical artisan
considers it his duty to make a study of
architecture, mechanical drawings and
specifications, with the advantage of
books giving the experience and designs
of others, there is no reason for the
farmer to refuse kindred privileges for
himself. A knowledge of the progress
made In his calling can be gained only
by study and practical experiment
upon the theories advanced. There are
hundreds of farmers who are experts
in the management OF dairy, yet who
give little or no attention to the classi-
tication Of stock; and some OF the most
successful OF horticulturists have no
idea of how the varieties of fruit culti-
waited by them were produced.
Though farmers, like all other class
es, may be benefited by knowledge,
they are not as slow as Is generally
supposed. Every season there area
great number of conventions held to
consider agricultural subjects, ana at
the recent Fat Stock Show there were
twenty one meetings of breeders OF diff
ferent classes of stock, representing
every section of the country. But the
masses are best educated not only by
the study of agricultural literature,
but by meetings in each locality. 1t IS
at such meetings that the practical and
theoretical can be compared, and the
experiments and opinions of every
member given. A great advantage of
local meetings Is the facility Of inspec-
tion of the farms OF such sections and
direct comparison of the growing
crops. as well as the live stock possess
ed by each, which affords an opportu-
nlty also to the younger members, In
fusing in them spirit OF progress
which is sure to result IN benefit in the
future, and to render agriculture more
and more profitable.

Lear In Chancery.

At period when Mossop, the great
actor, was managing the theatre in
Smock alley, Dublin, business was bad
and his actors were not paid their sala-
ries. One night Mossop, playing Lear,
was supported in the arms of an actor
playing Kent, who whispered TO him:
''If you don't give me your honor, sir,
that you'll pay Inc my arxearages this
night before l go home I'll let you
drop" Mossop, alarmed, besought the
man not 10 talk to him now. 81 will, !"
said Kent, 81 will; I'll let you drop"
Mossop was obliged to give the promise
and the actor thus got his money, the
effect of desperate though well timed
hint.
